The Relieving Letter From Previous Employer is a significant document in Canadian employment practices that serves multiple purposes in professional transitions. While not mandated by Canadian federal or provincial labor laws, it has become an important business practice across industries. This document is typically issued when an employee leaves an organization, whether through resignation, retirement, or mutual agreement. It confirms the completion of the employment relationship, verifies that all company properties have been returned, and indicates that all dues have been settled. The letter is often requested by new employers as part of their hiring process and can be crucial for employment verification. In the Canadian context, this document complements other separation documents like the Record of Employment (ROE) and helps maintain clear documentation of employment history.
